Are you kidding? Mindduel was awesome. I used to use it to raise my mages' sp far above the max.

The SA focused its actions on the socialists and communists. Hitler still won out against the centrist and conservative parties in a democratic election. At any rate, the whole situation is much more complicated than to be merely dismissed as "a popular misconception". -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

To name a few: Bernard Haitink (conductor), Alastair Miles (bass), Leontyne Price (soprano), Placido Domingo (tenor), Sherrill Milnes (baritone), Tasmin Little (violin), Vladimir Ashkenazy (piano), Mtislav Rostropovich (cello). This list is a little biased towards those whom I have seen perform and are still alive. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Yes, I miss the disabling spells too. There's Daze, Slow and Terror, and that's pretty much it. Those 3 are pretty good, however. A4 Terror is much better than its A3 counterpart. Daze has been awesome, since the days of GF2. As for Slow, although it only affects one enemy it is still pretty useful - some spellcasting enemies can be totally neutralised using Slow, because the AI wastes all its action points casting Haste every round, allowing you to attack it for free. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Agreed - it would be helpful to specify what bugs you are talking about. As for the limited range of what the editor can do, I don't believe there is a great appetite for a sophisticated GF editor - either you play it straight or you cheat, in which case you may as well go for a god party. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Yeah, there are no games where you can set up a shop or run your own guild or most of that other stuff. And Avernum 4 is surely the spidweb game that's least like that, out of all of them. As Dikiyoba and Randomizer, Avernum 3 may be your best bet - the world changes over time, usually in the form of getting worse, but hey. There's also a pretty day/night effect, which I like. I also like Geneforge 2, which has lots of factions to choose between, and a greater variety of endings than any of the other games. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

It's the shade of venom in Almaria. I didn't miss Divine Warrior too much in Avernum 3, because Heroic Brew has the same effect and you can gather herbs and make them. I do miss it in Avernum 4, although not as much as mass haste. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image. But then, that's not a complaint." -Scorpius Geneforge 4 stuff.

quote:The point is not whether resistance works, but what methods are morally justifiable. Option 4 seems to me to be clearly immoral. Option 1 involves hypocritically pretending to agree with the occupying regime, so that's out as well. Option 3 is just as unlikely to succeed as 2 but involves violence. Therefore Option 2 is the preferred moral choice. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image. But then, that's not a complaint." -Scorpius Geneforge 4 stuff.

Most people consider insanity to be when people are not in control, so aren't responsible for their behaviour.

1. The Exile trilogy is the best. 2. The Geneforge series seems to me to have most promise for the future [although, like others, I would prefer to see an entirely new series before long]. 3. I started playing Exile II in 1999, and I'm still playing it, in between all the newer ones. 4. I play on a PC. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

With the advantage that Retribution doesn't hurt allies, giving it a slight edge. I remember once casting Shockwave in Rentar's Keep in E3, forgetting that Erika was also in the room. Oops, now I have two insanely powerful magi trying to kill me... Edit: The A4 Retribution also has an edge over the GF version Aura of Flames, because the latter uses a lot of energy and can't be cast repeatedly. With energy potions, you can go on casting Retribution for as long as the potions last.

I oppose the death penalty in general. I have no especial sorrow in seeing the end of Saddam Hussain, who was a thoroughly nasty man, nevertheless I cannot support any instance of judicial killing. The only time I would condone killing is to save life -- and execution of prisoners does not generally qualify. I completely agree with Aran about the gloating. The newspaper The Sun was particularly nauseating today. Edit: The media coverage in the Middle East seems to indicate that Saddam has indeed become a martyr. For example Libya has declared three days of national mourning. Saddam was a hero to many Palestinians.

eztaren, it doesn't make any difference whether you've started playing the game or not, just leave town and then return again, and editing should be possible [assuming we can get a working version of the script]. Tullegolar, it may be something to do with linebreaks. The original txt file is probably not equivalent to one copied and pasted from the web. If you e-mail me the script, as an attachment, I can host it. Send me an e-mail following the instructions at the bottom of this page. Just bear in mind that it is night time, here in the UK, and I'm about to go to bed; so it may be a few hours before I upload it. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.
